V period of reconstruction. Postmast er August Huckestein presided. In his Chautauqua address Mr. Bryan spoke on reconstruction prob lems and reform. Fully 1000 per sons listened. , He said in part: i History of Reform Told. It ' is now .nearly; three decades since I became nationally interested Jn . national politics. During that time ? have seen a great many re forms proposed and carried out and I have seen other times when they were bitterly opposed. I therefore know something of the slowness of the carrying out of some of these reforms. In fact, the first few years of my experiences were largely spent in encouraging reformers. The reformers know what they de sired and they wondered why others could 'not see their point of iw.

NewYork Finally,' I fotfad a story that helped me out wnen I was endeavoring to encourage these men. A man went to a physician with a breaking out on bis hands . and the doctor gave him some ointment and told him to apply it for a mojth and then return and report progress. At the end of the month he returned and the doctor said: "How is your hand?" The answer was. "Dotor, looking at It from day to day I see no change and looking at it from week to week I think I can. and.- now at . thea ed of the month I guess it is better and it may get well but ' I am afraid it will not be In my day." So it is with reform ers. They feared they would die before' their theories were trium phant in then things In which they were interested aad these things do move slowly. rf, r-x ' : For illustration. It took us 20 years to secure the election of senat ors by the direct vote of the people anfter that reform had been endors ed the first time by a vote in the house of representatives In Washing ton, I had put In my platform two years before when first a candidate for congress, a demand for an elec tion of. senators by the direct vote of the people and during my first term in congress I had the privilege of voting for this reform.- " I-was not as well acquainted with the progress of - events then as I have become since and when two thirds of the house voted for this resolution I thought that that ended the fight and that , we would have It at once. But just 21 years after it bad passed the house 6 times it pass ed the senate ' for the first time. When it once passed the senate, the states ratified it in a very short time and -today you can safely say that nine tenths of all the voters will vote never to return to. the old system of electing the senators under the old plan. But It took more than two decades to . secure this reform and during that time there was never a speech made against it that deserv ed to be reported or quoted and no invention ever declared against It. However, it took that long to get it through. Income Tax Long; Delayed. . .In 1894 we passed a bill and made it a law providing for an income tax The supreme court held it unconsti tutional: and did so by a divided vote of 5 to 4 and the one man whose vote decided changed his position on the subject between two hearings of the case. I don't know who that man was and I think his descendent will never let it be known who he was. Seventeen years after that we secured an amendment to the con stitution authorizing an income tax and that amendment was secured Just in time to enable our country to collect an income tax without which it would have been difficult to raise the money for the war.' 1 mention these, things to show you how long it takes to secure a reform. Among the .reforms which have finally won out Is woman's suffrage. I will not argue it as the time for argument is past. Suffrage is al most here and . I predict that in a year we will have seen this ratified by the 36 states necessary. .- Women's" conscience, joined to man's judgment, will triump in ev ery righteous cause and if women's conscience had been listened to, in stead of man's judgment, the saloon would have been banished from the United States long before it was.

First, that any Re publican would be mean enough to say such a thing to a man like me and, second, because I could not de ny It. Soldier Question Discussed. As for the, soldier proposition. when I see. that these soldiers have shown themselves to be the greatest ugnung macmnes tne world ever saw and that they fought with all the strength that was In them, and surprised the world in being able to go into the fighting with little or no training, and. the reason for their beng such effective fighters was be cause alcohol was entirely separated from them, and we found that when we kept the alcohol away we could reduee to a degree what was called the preventable diseases. Most of us believed that to make a soldier required a long period of training bunt we had soldiers on the battlefront In less than four months from the time they put on the uni form and we showed that under our process of training and surround inrs and environment that we could put them In physical condition and fit them to be the" best soldiers on earth in that period of time. Now when her work is done over there and they are back, the first duty of the nation is to see that every soldier has a chance to resume tho work he left to put on a uniform. If any of them have suffered so that they cannot work, it is only fair and proper that our nation should he pre pared to train them for the kind of work that they are best able to do. I think , there should be established a national bureau to provide these men with the work for which they are best fitted. I think It only just that the soldier be given a- chance to begin where he left off when he joined the army. I think our good roads furnish an opportunity to se cure a great public benefit aad at the same time provide an opportun ity for the employment of every idl man. Now my friends I think the lime has come when we caa utilize any surplus labor In the country In the building of roads and there need be not one idle man under the Ameri can Hag. Special attention should be given to the returned soldier in the matter of employment and I want to say a word about profiteer ing. Ucnow nothing of your experi ences. I am not prepared to sav about any particular community so as to make local-application of any thing 1 say. But I know that In the country generally there has been profiteering and the blackest spot on the result of this war is found in the fact that while our people were fighting in Europe our people were beinjf mled in the United States by profiteering. I come to the the ory that there should be a remedy or every wrong, on the theory that whenever the government takes from the citizens the right to pro tect themselves and avenge his own wrongs, the government assumes the obligation of perfecting that citizen from every arm uplifted for his in jury. Today I think there is an im mediate and Imperative demand for machinery that will enable and pro tect those of our citizens from the profiteers. t think a 'national trade commis sion in every cay with amnle non deal with every grievance so that if anyone complained that any man in the town, state or. nation was profit eering or exploiting those with whom he dealt, a charge could be brought before the proper authority and an investigation made so that if a charge were false, the man accused could be vindicated, if it were true he could be punished. Having spoken of these things, I wish to rail your attention to the grtatcst of the isailej before the na tion of a domestic character. If I am correct in my judgment, the greatest domestic issue we have and which will be before us until settled and settled right, is the issue be tween private monopoly and govern ment ownership. Monoolie Difccnsel. In presenting the principles In volved I wish to say that we will THREE BRYAX never settle these questions -until we understand the controlling principles We will never have an intelligent opinion on the question of govern ment ownership until we have an understanding of what a private mo nopoly is. We will lay down the proposition of what a private monopoly is. It Is indefensible and intolerable be cause It cannot be defended and in tolerable because anything that can not be defended eannot be tolerated. In a government likewise. Let me explain. Do you know a Judge so good that you would let him try a case if you sued him or ha sued you? There is not a civil ized nation In the world that would permit a" Judge to try a case in which he was pecuniarily interested. That is a matter we all understand. Un conscious bias of the man In favor of himself makes him unfit as a Judge where his Itnerests conflict with the interests of others. Thus the president of a monopoly sits In judgment of cases which concern the public at large as well as himself. He cannot help but be prejudiced in favor of his own interests. Here are objections to the monop oly. One Is the economic objection and the other is the political objec tion. The economic objection is this: A private monopoly destroys every in centive and provocation to complete and the interest of the man who pur chases an aticle will compel him to purchase where he can buy the ar ticle the cheapest. The buyer wants the best for the' least money. It is necessary for the man who produces the article to produce the highest quality at the lowest cost. If you give him a monopoly and take away all competition, that incentive is de stroyed and instead of his interest being on the side of the man who buys, he does not have to give you the best article. You have to take what he has to give you. He does not .furthermoxe.Jjave to. give it to you for the lowest price. No, yon have to pa7 what he asks for It. But If you can convince me that under a private monopoly you. can get the best article at the lowest price I will be opposed to private monopoly.- for it is disjunctive of the theory of pop ular government. It cannot live un der the same flag as popular govern ment. There are two explanations to this proposition. First, if a man is head of a private monopoly, when he starts to exercise these powers, he is doing an Injustice to others. He becomes conscious that he is gath ering where he did not sow and when a' man. is conscious that he is collecting from the- public without giving them a return, he Is then the enemy of popular government. For league of Nations. The president has presented to the senate what is known as the league of nations. It was part or the treaty which he brought back from Paris. I believe it should be ratified. Let me give you my reasons for believing this. I believe it is the longest step to ward peace the world has taken in 1000 yea:. If not, it is the longest ever taken by cooperation between nations. The first question to de cide is whether you want peace or not. Those who do not want peace and believe In the Nietsche theory that war is good will not favor the league of nations. After talking at length in favor of the league of nations, declared him self flatly opposed to the prospective treaty whereby the United States and England would become obligat ed to help France In the event of an unprovoked attack by Germany.
